Re: why is this invalid in xml?

> s clearly problem of this particular letter.

well yes but of course we can't be sure which letter you mean 
but your mail had

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
and I assume you mean the single byte that appeared on my screen as
a-umlaut.

If you wanted it to be an a-umlaut then most likely all you need to do
is tell the system you are using latin 1 by changing
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
to
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
If you want to use utf-8 then that character will have a two byte
encoding.

If the character that you mean isn't an accented a then it is some other
encoding but hard to guess...
